If a little redesign makes you move to Chrome, what exactly was stopping you?

Mostly inertia. I’ve been using it since 1.0.

There’s been a trickle of changes over the years going in this direction. This was just the last straw. It’s becoming increasingly Less useful to me.

I don’t like Chrome but it’s better supported and it and Edge are more widely available by default. There’s simply no advantage anymore to using Firefox.

I’m the kind of guy that installs Firefox on everyone’s computer when they ask me to “fix” it and that recommends it to them. But their whole strategy has turned me off. And it won’t gain them any other market share either.

Hi! Not sponsored or anything, but if you want a separate search bar, Vivaldi (vivaldi.com) has that. Just thought it might help.
If you want a separate search bar you go to the firefox customisation page (same page as all other firefox customisations) and literally drag and drop the search bar back into the header
Oh, look -- still there! Thanks!
